Problem Description:
====================
Intall Ubuntu16.04.01 OS on big DASD drive 8 Terabyptes Libra HE10 consistently
failed.
- I have a Libra HE10 8TB drive in slot UESLL.001.G66S02C-P1-D12 of in
Slider LFF draw.
- From Ubuntu-KVM host, I tried to install Ubuntu16.04.01 OS on Libra
HE10 8TB drive for a KVM guest. The OS installation went successfully.
- However, when reboot right after finish OS installing, it hit "SCSI-
DISK: Access beyond end of device" and dropped into grub rescue>
- I have tried install with different Libra HE10 8TB drives and the
problem is the same. I then tried OS install on smaller disk with 4TB
AriesKB drive and it works fine.
Please see more details below:

The install completes without error, but grub does not seem to be happy with
the resulting partitioning.
One odd observation is that the resulting installed OS is treating the
drive as if it had 512 byte sectors, but the underlying disk is using 4K
sectors:
